I am not as concerned with point weight as I am total arrow weight, so if i have to use 175-150s up from who cares. Playing around with the arrows and seeing what works is half the fun and you guys have given me a great starting point.

If my 2013's wont shoot at all, no big deal, i bought them for footing anyway  :)

I think the 2016 sound the best in theory, but we shall see.

Maybe a dumb question but for example, is there a different besides color in 1916 purple jazz arrows or the camo xx75? or are they just different production runs with different cosmetics?

The 2013 and the 1916 spine about the same. The smaller 1916 diameter puts you just a hair closer to center shot than the 2013 does.
DDave. I went on a spree a few years ago and also got a couple dozen 1916 legacy shafts, plus a whole bunch of fiberglass shafts that spine in there just about like the 1916s...then I have some cedars...

I try to stay away from thin wall aluminum arrows. Back when I shot a lot of 3D I use to beat up arrows terribly.
Just ordered 1916 Eastons for my grandson. New bow, new combination. I always plan on 145 grain tips knowing I can go up or down if I need to correct.

Easton, 3 Rivers or Lancaster Archery have charts. The one above shows 1916 up to 175 gr tip, @ 26", possibly up to 27", but a 2016 might be better at 27" or if your going with more wt up front. I like the idea of using some used, in good or better condition to make up your own test kit.
